The Lennon Project

SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2024 | 7:00 PM

TICKETS*
Tickets: $30 / $35 / $40
RaueNOW: $21 / $24.50 / $28

SoundTracks Of A Generation is proud to present the songs and the life of John Lennon in a chronological soundscape! Jay Goeppner, arguably one of the best Lennonesque singers on the planet, assumes the role of John Lennon. 

This 100-minute retrospective begins in 1966 when the Beatles made the momentous decision to stop touring and concentrate solely on music composed in the studio which led to albums like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Rubber Soul, Revolver, The White Album, Abbey Road, and the rooftop concert for Let It Be, as the Beatles’ final performance.

The second half of the show showcases Lennon’s solo career from The Plastic Ono Band, to his signature album Imagine, to Sometime In New York City, Mind Games, Walls & Bridges, Rock & Roll and concludes with selections from John and Yoko’s final recording, Double Fantasy, released prior to his death on December 8, 1980.

Jay Goeppner and his crack Soundtracks band intertwines these songs with multimedia images to create the monumental musical and emotional impact that John Lennon brought to the world.

Static: Noise of a New Musical

Directed by Rob Scharlow
Music Direction by James Mablin

An original Morse code musical about a teen trying to find her dad who's lost in the woods on the Appalachian Trail –  acoustic campfire sing-along meets a true-crime podcast! 

The McAfees have lived in the Pennsylvania forest ever since their father went missing five years ago while hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Daughter Maine teams up with local teen Charlie on a detective mission to find Maine’s father, working through new friendships and family history along the way. But listen closely, and there are secrets hidden all around. Static is an original adventure musical about family, communication, nature, and change, with a radio blend of musical theater, folk-rock music, and Morse code.

Static is the first musical to utilize Morse code as a method of dramatic storytelling, including cryptic Morse mode clues and secret messages embedded in the music, creating an immersive and mystery-filled audience experience. RCSA's cast and creative team have spent five weeks workshopping this musical with writer and composer Tess Rowan, learning what went into the creation of this unique work and participating in its continued development.  

SPECIAL EVENT ON JULY 19: RCSA OnStage is excited to offer a special Talk Back session with Tess and actors following the performance

__
Tess Rowan (Book/Music/Lyrics) is a writer, director, and performer from the Washington, D.C. Area. She began writing the book, music, and lyrics of Static when she was in middle school and is thrilled to workshop Static with Raue Center School For The Arts this summer.

Tess had her first play published at 14 years old. She co-founded Saxon Stage After Hours, a playwriting, directing, and student production group. She was a Lead Critic in the Cappies of the National Capital Area for youth theater journalism in the D.C. Area. Tess will also choreograph The Raue Center for the Arts’ production of Moana Jr. this summer.
